Storage, Freezing & Make-Ahead Tips

These S’more Cups are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a few days in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to make them ahead of time, consider making the crust and storing it separately from the toppings. You can assemble and bake them right before serving, ensuring that they have that freshly toasted marshmallow flavor. If you have leftovers, they can be frozen for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap them well so they don’t absorb any unwanted odors from the freezer!
